According to local media, the event was also attended by Colombian congressman Alejandro Toro, from the Historical Pact. The official media said that it was “Colombian diplomacy.”

“Eye. The Colombian ambassador in Nicaragua was celebrating the crimes of Daniel Ortega in Caminata 44/19. Article 41 of the Vienna Convention states that diplomats should not ‘interfere in the internal affairs of a State,’ much less in political matters,” said the former Nicaraguan ambassador to the OAS, Arturo McFields Yescas.
The fact draws attention because next Thursday, July 13, the ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) of The Hague on the dispute between the two countries will be known, so it is questioned whether the assistance would be related to that fact. A substantive decision is expected from the international court on the extended continental shelf in a dispute that dates back to 2001.
In addition, it has drawn the attention of Nicaraguans that a few months ago the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Relations questioned the Ortega regime for abuses of power and now its diplomat is participating in these celebrations.
Subsequently, Foreign Minister Álvaro Leyva gave Colombian nationality to the writer Sergio Ramírez, who was exiled by the Ortega regime. Along with Ramírez, another 300 Nicaraguans were stripped of their nationality.
